1.2.2 Transaction

In the context of eCommerce, we define a transaction as a request-response pair from the context of user. For example, an HTTP transaction is the occurrence of the following sequence of events:

1.xxxx

An HTTP request sent by a browser to the eCommerce server

2.xxxx

An HTTP response, for the request sent in step1, from the server to the browser

A response may be a simple HTML response or it may be a composite response in which the content is aggregated from various components, such as JSPs, images, Java Scripts, and so on, and sources, which may be local or remote.
